TARNO Replacement Cushions for IKEA — Measured Fit (2026)
Cushions to fit IKEA TARNO: Outdoor folding — acacia balcony line — official measurements, cut to order.
The TARNO line at a glance
TARNO is the classic IKEA balcony line – solid acacia folding chairs and bistro tables, pre-stained, flat-storable, sold in enormous volume. The replacement problem is the seat: 15 3/8 inches wide and just 11 inches deep, against a universal outdoor-pad market built on 17-19 inch squares. A stock pad physically cannot sit flat on this frame – which is why the official pad program for TARNO runs a dedicated 14 1/8 x 12 5/8 inch chair pad.
When the era’s pad colorway retires, the frame keeps serving years past it. We cut to the same numbers – or to your measurements, in solution-dyed acrylic over 50D-plus foam that outlives the seasonal palette.
TARNO cushion sizes — full chart
Measurements compiled from official IKEA product data (live pages, archived official values, or surviving aftermarket spec tables). Inches; metric-derived fractions (22 7/8, 23 5/8) are normal — cut to the fraction, not the rounded inch.
| Piece | Part | Qty | W × D (× H) in. | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chair (foldable) | Seat | 1 | 15 3/8 × 11 × 17 3/4 seat H | official PDP: seat 15 3/8 W x 11 D x 17 3/4 H; overall 15 3/8 x 15 3/4 x 31 1/8 |
| Matching pad (KUDDARNA chair pad) | Pad | 1 | 14 1/8 × 12 5/8 | the dedicated narrow pad size for this seat |
| Bench (foldable) | Seat | 1 | — pending cross-check | in production - piece dims pending cross-check |
Is your set really TARNO?
TARNO is the slatted folding chair with steel legs and acacia slats – unmistakable, and usually bought in fours with the little bistro table. The measurement check is the whole diagnosis: seat under 16 inches wide and 11 deep is TARNO territory, and it means no universal 17-19 inch pad will ever fit. The narrow-pad chart above is your size. Full method: our three-step measuring guide.
Fabric options & estimated pricing
Same fit, three fabric tiers — cotton linen (durable everyday), tech fabric (water-resistant, wipes clean), premium velvet (the high-end look that stands up to cat claws). For outdoor pieces: solution-dyed acrylic covers over 50D-plus foam.
| Piece | Cotton Linen | Tech Fabric | Premium Velvet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chair pad (14 1/8 x 12 5/8) | $61 | $62 | $63 |
| Bench pad run (~47 x 15 3/4) | $129 | $135 | $140 |
Estimated pricing — $39 make-base + area at per-sq-ft rates, made to order. Final quote confirmed at checkout; welt cord and ties available as add-ons. Covers close with a sewn envelope closure (no zippers on our line).
Measure before you order
Three minutes with a tape measure prevents the classic IKEA mistake — ordering rounded inch sizes for metric fractions. Measure seam to seam, every distinct block, to the nearest quarter inch per our measuring guide; your numbers are cross-checked against the chart above before anything is cut.
Frequently asked questions
Why won't regular outdoor cushions fit my TARNO chairs?
Seat size. The TARNO seat is 15 3/8 inches wide by 11 deep; universal outdoor pads start around 17-19 inch squares and physically overhang the frame on all sides. The pad size built for this seat is 14 1/8 x 12 5/8 – that is the number to order.
What cushion does IKEA sell for TARNO?
The KUDDARNA chair pad in 14 1/8 x 12 5/8 inches is the dedicated narrow size for TARNO-class seats. It exists in the current season’s colors while the pattern runs – after that, we cut to the same numbers in solution-dyed acrylic.
Can I upgrade TARNO cushions to Sunbrella-class fabric?
Yes – that is the standard upgrade for frames that outlast their pads: the same 14 1/8 x 12 5/8 cut in solution-dyed acrylic over 50D-plus foam, ordered as a set so colors match across your chairs.
